On a somewhat-related note, my house is currently a half-brick split
ranch. Due to the somewhat garish color of the brick ( orange ), we're
going to cover it with some fake rock ( dyed concrete, Cast Natural Stone
brand ). The 'stone' can be mortered directly to an existing brick wall,
but only if the brick is unsealed.
Anyone know how I can tell definitively if the brick is sealed? It
doesn't seem to be, but the house is almost 40 years old. Would it still
be obvious?
Thanks.
